Chapter 315 First half of the schedule
After defeating the Cavaliers, there are still seven games left before the All-Star Game.
This also means that there are still seven games before the end of the first half of the regular season.
The Kings faced challenges from the Pacers, Mavericks and Jazz.
It is difficult for these three teams to cause any trouble to the current Kings.
The only one who is slightly threatening is the Mavericks.
However, the Mavericks' outside touch was very poor in this game, and the Kings did not give them a chance, beating the Mavericks 101:78.
After another five-game winning streak, the Kings welcomed the Warriors at home again.
The previous record between the two teams was 2:1, with the Kings temporarily lagging behind.
As the Kings' biggest imaginary enemy in the playoffs this season, the Kings really will play this game tonight as a playoff game.
From the beginning of the game, he showed amazing concentration on both offense and defense.
In contrast, the Warriors were a bit nonchalant.
Not only is the three-point shooting percentage very low, but there are also many mistakes.
Facing the king in this state is simply asking for death.
The Kings outscored the Warriors 34:20 in the first quarter, defeating the Warriors in almost one quarter!
Of course, it is a bit exaggerated to say how much the Warriors scored here. After all, the Warriors’ explosive scoring power is not just talk!
With a score difference of more than ten points, for the Warriors, catching up is a matter of minutes!
Sure enough, after struggling in the second quarter, they launched a counterattack in the second half.
The reputation of "Yong San Crazy" is not in vain!
They soon launched a counterattack in the third quarter, with three-pointers raining down like a rain of arrows. Curry and Thompson's three-pointers seemed to be free of charge.
Seeing that the score difference was getting smaller and smaller, at this time, Li Pu finally stood up.
He first rushed inside and caused damage, first winning two free throws, and then using a mid-range shot to help the Kings stop the bleeding.
After that, whenever the Warriors needed momentum, Lip would use various methods to score points and suppress the Warriors' momentum.
In this way, although the Kings were beaten 38:31 by the Warriors in this quarter, after three quarters, the Kings still led the Warriors by 98:90, leading the Warriors by 8 points.
The Kings were able to withstand the Warriors' crazy momentum and maintained their lead.
There is no one else who can face the crazy Warriors this season and withstand it!
In the fourth quarter, the Warriors' substitutes did not get any advantage from the Kings, and the point difference quickly increased to 15 points.
After playing for half a quarter, the point difference could not get closer. In the end, the Warriors surrendered first and the team's starters were not sent on the court again. Naturally, there was no need for the Kings' starters to play again.
The final score was fixed at 121:106. The Kings successfully avenged the Warriors at home and evened the head-to-head record between the two teams to 2:2.
After defeating the Warriors, the Warriors' morale was at a high level. They also defeated the Suns at home and won seven consecutive games.
Then they lost to the Bulls on the road.
In this game, Rose and Gasol have both returned, and together with Tony Snell on the bench, all three of them scored 20+ points, which is a huge explosion.
Of course, this is also related to the poor state of the Kings.
The players on the team, including Li Pu, looked very tired, had no fighting spirit, and made frequent mistakes.
Apparently they were tired to a certain extent.
In the end, they defeated the Kings 104:102.
The day after losing to the Bulls, the Kings visited Milwaukee for the last game before the All-Star break.
Without Giannis and Middleton, the Bucks thought they would select the cornerstone of the team, Jabari Parker, in last year's draft.
But unfortunately, on December 17, Jabari Parker was diagnosed with a torn cruciate ligament in his left knee and was reimbursed for the season!
Is the "Glass Generation" making trouble with you in 2014?
Even if you are ranked second in the rankings, you can't escape this curse!
The only one who escaped this section was our top pick, "Brother Wolfberry"!
Due to Parker's injury, the Bucks once again lost hope and entered a mess mode, looking for a new cornerstone.
The final game was naturally a big win, easily defeating the Bucks 113:101, ending all games before the All-Star break.
The Kings achieved an astonishing record of 45 wins and 6 losses.
At this time, they still maintain the possibility of tying or even surpassing the Bulls' 72 wins!
Therefore, it has naturally become the hottest team in the league.
In comparison, the Warriors currently only have 42 wins and 9 losses. It is only theoretically possible to surpass or tie the Bulls' record!
However, even so, the Warriors continue to maintain the momentum of chasing the first place in the Western Conference, still shocking the league.
In addition to these two teams, there is another team that performed equally well, and that is the Atlanta Hawks.
Their record at this time was 43 wins and 11 losses, ranking first in the Eastern Conference, only one and a half games less than the Warriors.
Compared with these three teams, the other teams are obviously much more normal, and their records are not so explosive.
However, no one expected that among the three teams, the Eagles, with the worst record, would become the biggest winner of this year's All-Star Game.
The Kings' players' record was really poor, so only Lip and Butler were selected as All-Stars.
The same is true for the Warriors, only the Splash Brothers were selected together.
It is not unusual for a team to have two All-Stars selected. After all, even the Cavaliers have selected three.
On the contrary, the Hawks actually had four players selected to the All-Star Game at the same time, but unfortunately, none of the four players was selected as the All-Star starter.
The Eastern Conference All-Star starters are: Kyle Lowry, John Wall, LeBron James, Carmelo Anthony and Pau Gasol.
Substitutes: Kelly Irving, Chris Bosh, Marcin Gortat, Jeff Teague, Al Horford, Paul Millsap and Kyle Korver.
As for the West, the All-Star competition is much greater than in the East!
This year's All-Star vote king finally fell to Li Pu.
As the leader of a team with the best record in the league, he has unparalleled popularity overseas, especially in Asia, which has allowed him to overtake Curry and become the All-Star vote winner.
The starting five of the Western Conference All-Stars are: Stephen Curry, James Harden, Jimmy Butler, Marc Gasol and Lip.
Substitutes: LaMarcus Aldridge, Klay Thompson, Russell Westbrook, Chris Paul, Dirk Nowitzki, Tim Duncan, Damian Lillard
.
Rose and Wade in the East, and Kobe and Durant in the West, are all unable to attend due to injuries, which makes this year's All-Star Game less "starry".
However, there are also many "new faces" appearing at the same time. There are as many as five players selected to the All-Stars for the first time this season.
Just like that, starting from February 13th, the All-Star Weekend officially begins.
